Desert Graves

Over the years, I have collected a number of official war photographs that I found at Militaria Fairs, Several of them show Axis graves in North Africa. I can remember my elder brother telling me that while him and my parents were in Cyreniaca in the late 40s, he was able to wander around in the desert which was littered with abandoned military vehicles and equipment. He had a pretty impressive collection of wartime memorabilia that he had 'liberated'.

Graves of German soldiers killed in the recent battle. It does not take
the enemy long to erect crosses over the graves of their fallen me
I believe the soldier is a member of the Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU)

Rediscovering a few sheets of black and white negatives today produced a welcome surprise. Several sheets of Brookwood Cemetery images shot on ILFORD XP2 film. This is the grave of John Charles Dufort who died in 1911.
